Barrier Trial Greyville 1000m poly 26/08/2018
1st Mr Roy (Veale/Wright MR104 S 60kg draw 11) Strode out well in his comeback from a six month layoff. 59.37 seconds.
2nd 1,75 Cruise Cruz (Kennedy/Robinson A 59kg draw 2) This unraced Bold Silvano colt had two previous barrier trials. He is bred to go further but showed fair pace. He has quite a big action. 59.69 seconds.
3rd 3,50 Everlasting Love (Samuel/Hill MR74 A 59kg draw 10) Over-raced with her head in the air in her comeback from a two-and-a-half month layoff but then strode out nicely when running on in the straight. 60.01 seconds.
4th 7,50 Racing Stripes (Dillon/Hill S 59kg draw 4) This unraced Where’s That Tiger gelding has scope and after being driven into a handy position stayed on although he had to be driven in the closing stages and will be looking for further. 60.76 seconds.
5th 7,60 Redeem The Gold (Ferraris -2.5 kg/Tarry A 58kg draw 8) This Pomodoro filly is out of a maiden Captain Al mare who is a half-sister to a Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery runner up. She displayed a good action and stayed on well from midfield. 60.78 seconds.
6th 7,65 Moon In June (Moodley/Hill S 58kg draw 12) This unraced filly is a typically scopey daughter of Twice Over and after being dropped out from a wide draw she showed a nice turn of foot and stayed on with a fair action. Will appreciate further. 60.79 seconds.
7th 12,65 Misty Heath (Sakayi -2.5 kg/Van Wyk MR57 S 59kg draw 9) Showed some zip but needed her first outing in five months. 61.75 seconds.
8th 13,15 Double Dab (Arries/Wright S 58kg draw 7) This unraced Gimmethegreenlight filly is not the biggest and was outpaced in the straight. 61.85 seconds.
9th 16,65 Taweel (Ngwane/Tarry A 59kg draw 3) This unraced Silvano gelding was slow away and tailed off but did stay on quite well and can improve. 62.54 seconds.
10th 18,15 Fort Eros (Jacobson/Robinson A 59kg draw 1) This unraced Elusive Fort gelding was green throughout and the penny still has to drop. 62.85 seconds.
11th 20,40 Convention (B Lerena/Bosch SB 58kg draw 5) This unraced Ideal World filly had a previous barrier trial and was tried with blinkers here. She dwelt and was soon outpaced. She has a rangy action and will need further. 63.31 seconds.
12th 20,65 Duchess Lane (Randolph/Rivalland A 58kg draw 6) This unraced Duke Of Marmalade filly was green and outpaced but could improve. 63.36 seconds.
